Preparing for a Special Backyard BBQ!

Have you ever been trying to buy something, but couldn’t seem to find it anywhere? Do you like shopping for goods from all over the World? Do you miss the retro candies & food products you grew up on, or long to use a specific hard-to-find spice?

If you answered yes to any of the above, you need to check out Cost Plus World Market! For over fifty years, World Market has been bringing great finds from all around the World to it’s shoppers. They also sell many original items, all at a low price.

I’m really excited because in two short weeks, my sister & her two kids will be coming to town & staying for 10 days! I haven’t seen my sister in two years, and even then I only saw her for a day. &My neice and nephew? I haven’t seen them in four years- and since they’re now 8 & 10, I wanted to do something special for when they’re here!

One of the things we want to do when they visit is have a barbeque. Justin loves to grill & it’s just such a Summertime thing to do! To make it more special for the kids, I decided to head to World Market to stock up on some fun accessories!

I picked up some retro burger baskets {which you can’t really see in the photo but are really cute in person & are red and blue- perfect for 4th of July!} along with the classic liners!

I picked up some grilling skewers to use both for kabobs & as marshmallow roasting sticks, and I got a grilling bowl so we can grill some veggies too! &I couldn’t resist getting those mini condiment bottles!

I got this tray because it matches the pillow I recently bought that I’m in love with, and also to make it easier to bring all of the accessories in & out of the house! It’s melamine & really sturdy- I love it!

While I just threw together a snack of S’mores for Shane, Justin & I, I’m looking forward to serving some hot dogs & burgers in those baskets, along with some fries in the cones & some yummy iced tea!

While I was at World Market, I also picked up some other fun goodies, like a set of chalkboard stickers, a swimming fish toy & Buzz Lightyear PEZ dispenser for Shane, & a set of four round placemats that I had intended to use for the outdoor table before realizing when I got home just how small my outdoor table really is. I’m probably still going to use them inside, though, because they’re really nice! {&Since we’re thinking about buying a larger patio set, we’ll have them on hand.} We also got this pinwheel that Shane just loves playing with!

World Market has so much stuff out there right now for BBQ season- I didn’t even know what half of the stuff was! They had a lot of specialty foods &seasonings as well- I may go back & pick some up once I know what the kids actually like!

Cost Plus World Market is AWESOME. I’m continually stunned at the selection of gourmet goodies I find there, and every time I need a little special something for a special occasion, or just to freshen up our decor, I find *exactly* what I was looking for there. LOVE them!

I LOVE those baskets and pretty much your whole set up. I’ve actually never been to a World Market, I thought they were just furniture and decor. I can’t believe you got everything there! Your post is motivating me to find one 😉
